Is crazy what you can find if you dig up the past.

>In the past, strong rumors indicated that Microsoft wanted to own Nintendo as a whole, Hiroshi response to one of the Microsoft representatives was "You could better suck my yellow fucking balls". The rumor states that he say it in English too.
>Is a well know fact that the person that influenced the use of cartriage the most during the N64 generation was Miyamoto, because of the faster loading time, but is never explained why it was exponentially harder to program on it compared to the competition. Some people claim that Hiroshi wanted the N64 to become a machine where only top programmers could program, meaning only the best games out there could be made on the N64.
>Is believe that Hiroshi hated the JRPG genre, given by some statements that can't be found anymore, claiming he saying stuff like "JRPG's is a genre that only appeals to basements dwelers and such". This could explain the extremely low support on the genre that the N64 got, and the lost of many partnerships that Nintendo use to hold close.
>Hiroshi calls Masahiro Sakurai gay in one of his Interviews wih a magazine for creating Kirby(can still find the Interview, is hilarious)

Here still many interesting things about this guy holy fuck, this guy is probably the most interesting person in the whole industry, but we never pay attention to his past, why?
